The world-famous Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club in London is celebrating
its 60th birthday with an all-star gala at the (slightly bigger) Royal
Albert Hall on October 30th (the exact date it was opened in 1959 on
Gerrard Street in Soho). Proceeds from the show will go to the Ronnie
Scott’s Foundation, their music education charity which works with
underprivileged children in the UK and abroad.
Star performers confirmed for the event include Georgie Fame with his
special guests Sir Van Morrison and saxophonist Pee Wee Ellis, plus
there will be appearances from Kurt Elling, Courtney Pine, Madeleine
Bell, Imelda May and Jazz FM’s own Ian Shaw, all playing with members of
the Ronnie Scott’s house bands.
Co-owner of Ronnie Scott’s, Sally Greene OBE, told Jazz FM: "I am so
proud to be a part of both Ronnie Scott's amazing history and its bright
future. Over the past 60 years Ronnie's has welcomed many incredible
artists; from legends of Jazz to lesser known rising stars. Our birthday
at the Royal Albert Hall will be a unique evening showcasing our love
of Jazz on a grand scale to our long-standing patrons and future
generations of music lovers."
